History In August 2006, it was reported that the .cm registry had set up a wildcard DNS record, so that all unregistered domains in this top-level domain go to a parking page with paid search links.

The .cm top-level domain is also used for domain name hacks by legitimate organizations, such as the CyanogenMod project, which used get.cm as an easily remembered URL shortener for distributing versions of its software, and The Hill, which uses hill.cm as a URL shortener when linking to its articles on social media.1249782921013182470 thehill JUST IN: Macron extends France's coronavirus lockdown to May 11 http://hill.cm/6ThxCda The Hill 2020-04-13May 2021 References External links Article about the man who profits from redirecting all the unregistered .cm domains IANA .cm whois information cnet.com: McAfee uncovers riskiest domains https://web.archive.org/web/20121203124210/http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10407530-83.html 2012-12-03 Category:Country code top-level domains Category:Communications in Cameroon Category:Science and technology in Cameroon Category:Internet properties established in 1995 he:סיומת אינטרנט#טבלת סיומות המדינות sv:Toppdomän#C
